Careers

Central California Alliance for Health (the Alliance) is an award-winning regional Medi-Cal managed care plan that provides health insurance for low-income children, adults, seniors and people with disabilities in Merced, Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. We currently serve more than 407,000 members.

In 1996, the Alliance was established to improve access to quality health care for lower income residents who often lacked a primary care “medical home” and had to rely on the emergency room for basic needs. We connect members to the primary and specialty care they need.

Our Culture

At the Alliance, our work is bigger than ourselves. Guided by our values of Collaboration, Equity, Improvement and Integrity, we strive to fulfill our vision of “Healthy people. Healthy communities.” This focus includes finding innovative solutions that lead to better health outcomes for the members.

Our more than 500 dedicated employees are valued and empowered to directly contribute to our mission of providing accessible, quality health care to our members.

We’re Proud to Work Here

Support for Your Health and Wellness

We believe in supporting the whole person and offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental and vision coverage for you and your dependents. In addition to 11 paid holidays per year, we provide ample paid time off. We recognize the importance of work-life balance, so we offer flexible scheduling and extra support when you need it most, like when new parents are returning to work. To promote health and wellness, we provide reimbursements for gym memberships, online fitness classes and wellness apps. Our generous retirement plans include employer contributions to support your financial wellness.

COVID-19 Information

With offices in three different counties in California, our leadership team is committed to following guidance from local public health officials and the state to ensure the health and safety for not only the members we serve as a health plan, but also for our employees.

We are operating in a hybrid work environment, where most employees are telecommuting full time. While we do have some positions that require us to be onsite or in the community, we continue to support flexible work schedules where possible.

Our commitment to potential employees: We are actively recruiting for the positions listed on our careers site and have modified our processes to support video interviews and remote onboarding of newly hired Alliance employees.

Our continued support of Alliance staff: Connection remains an important focus as we’ve adapted to a remote environment. We stay connected through virtual teambuilding events and celebrations, town hall meetings, lunch and learns with leadership, an employee newsletter, instant messaging tools, a staff Facebook page and internal community board.
